Today we have Gary Neville (left) representing England and Manchester United and Franck Ribery (right) representing France and Marseille...

This is a pretty good one because they both look so similar. I discount the scar on Franck - it actually makes him prettier. But those teeth! Even though he's the Frenchie he still belongs in the Big Book of British Smiles. I tried to find a shot of Gary N. smiling but failed. Perhaps his smile lurks somewhere deep in the recesses of those eye sockets. Anyway, my vote is for the ManU man. Ribery has a certain cuteness (je ne sais quoi??) that gives Gary today's title.-Sanford

Sadly, ManU/Liverpool matches can often be dour affairs. If Liverpool lose, their EPL season will be in big trouble. I expect them to dig in and snatch a draw. As for digging in, all bets are off for how many cards will be flashed in the Blackburn/Bolton clash...

And here's Henry facing the press. You rarely see him get so upset. It's interesting that he says that Arsenal are not yet a big club. I'd have to agree. There is no way that call would be made against ManU, Madrid, Juventus, Milan, Barcelona, etc.
